The "reasoning"? That's easy Steve, pick one:
- exercising absolute state authority,
- exercising autocratic authority
- exercising complete regulation by the state

BTW, in response to someone's statement about artifacts, I fail to
find "meteorite" crouched anywhere in the meaning of the word
"artifact". That is an often used strategy though.
